One method of removing this functional group involves reacting it with a potassium xanthate followed
 by an elimination. Besides the undergoing the Chugaev elimination, this functional group is protected by
 dihydropyran. Zinc chloride is used to test for their presence in the Lucas test. The Collins reagent and
 Jones reagent are commonly used to oxidize this functional group, and solutions of a compound of this
 element are used in SN1 solvolysis reactions. These compoudns have higher boiling points than their
 corresponding thiols, and they exhibit a broad peak around 3300 inverse centimeters on IR spectroscopy.
 This functional group contains a carbon and a hydrogen both single bonded to an oxygen. For 10 points,
 name this functional group found in ethanol.
